Welcome to Richard Ives Architectural & Decorative stone work.

Cornwall's leading stonemason with over 20 years experience in all aspects of our craft.

We are a small team of dedicated master craftsmen based in Cornwall specialising in all types of bespoke stonework, using locally sourced materials where possible, as we have the finest granite in the world. We use materials that are of high quality to achieve a look thats perfectly in keeping with the original style of building and surroundings. Over the years I have worked on numerous prestigious buildings in Cornwall and take great pride in all projects. Our attention to detail is one to be desired as we hand dress every stone and are capable of making quoins on site.

We also undertake landscaping which will complement your home and its setting, we will work with your designs and ideas to create your garden however large or small your dream, reflecting your own tastes and desires.
